mail sorters

Postal distribution workers

Mail sorters are workers or machines that organize mail by destination for efficient delivery.

Human mail sorters read addresses and distribute items into bins or slots; automated sorters use optical scanners and barcodes to route pieces at high speed.

The postal service hired seasonal mail sorters for the holiday rush.
